Frankfurter and His Mommy

Gunner James

I am Angela Walters. Hello and welcome to my blog! I am a Christian, card making, wiener dog loving lady. I started this blog in 2009 to share the cards I have made and my wonderful wiener dog, Frankfurter, with all of you. Although my dear Frank passed away in May of 2017, this blog continues as a way to honor him and all of the joy he brought into the world!

In September of 2017, I adopted another wiener dog, Gunner James. Gunner is not a replacement for Frank because no one could ever replace my amazing Frankfurter. Instead, my heart simply grew as I fell in love with another sweet Dachshund. I am thankful and blessed to have another sweet boy to share with all of you, along with my cards, on this blog.

My life will always be better because of the time I spent with my wiener dog, Frankfurter Walters. I was blessed to be his Mommy from June 30, 2001 until he passed away on May 21, 20017. He will forever be loved and missed.

Wiener Dog Art

Hello, Friends!

Welcome to post #501! If you haven't left a comment on post #500, here, you should because I'm giving away a My Favorite Things die and a Unity Stamp Company stamp set! I don't want to show them because I want the winners to be surprised when they arrive in the mail! There's another link at the end of this post so you don't have to leave before I tell you about my card and tell you a funny Frankfurter story!

Now for today's card! When I saw this easel die come out from Paper Smooches, I immediately thought it would be fun to stamp a wiener dog on two different pieces of canvas sitting next to each other to play up the fact that wiener dogs are long dogs. I was actually afraid that someone else would think of this idea, as well.

Since it's Wiener Dog Week here on Life With a Wiener Dog, I figured now was the perfect time to share my idea. The streamers stamps and dies, alphabet stamps, the easel die, and the cute little wiener dog stamp all come from Paper Smooches. The wiener dog comes from a set called,

"Woofers and Tweeters." Isn't that a great name for a set that comes with dogs and birds?

By the way, Frank knows that he is a "woofer." I've called him "my little woofer" for years.

One night when my Dad was talking about getting a sound bar that came with a woofer, Frank raised his head and looked at my Dad. Frank doesn't want anything else in this house that might come with a woofer, since HE is the woofer in this house!

Don't cry that Wiener Dog week is over! I have more wiener dog stamps that I will make cards with to share with you from time to time. Thanks for helping me celebrate 500 posts, this week, with a special wiener dog celebration!
